4 Reasons to Stage Your Home

When selling a home at the Lake of the Ozarks, staging is a very important part of getting the home sold. While it may seem like a lot of work, it generally pays off in the near future. It may seem like a better idea to empty your house because logic tells you that a buyer will be more apt to buy a home at the Lake of the Ozarks if they know they can more quickly move in. However, that's not exactly true. The Fran Campbell Team wants to share with you some reasons why staging your home is better than emptying it.

1. Gives a More Welcoming Feel

Buyers are looking for a place to call home, and empty houses can seem cold and uninviting. Buying a house is as emotional as it is logical - it's important that you appeal to your buyers on a subconscious level by making the house seem warm and welcoming.

2. Creates Ideas for Use of Space

Have you noticed how today's homes seem to have increasingly creative layouts? This is especially true at the Lake. When the home is empty, buyers may have difficulty visualizing the rooms as they could be used. Staging homes as bedrooms, offices, workout rooms, or even cozy reading nooks can get your buyers' imaginations flowing.

3. Helps Buyers Gauge Room Sizes

Your number one goal when selling a Lake of the Ozarks home should be to help your buyers envision the space as their own. Without any furniture in it, it may be hard to buyers to judge how large the rooms are. This uncertainty may deter potential buyers who have unusual furniture pieces they plan to bring with them.

4. Can Prevent Lower Offers

Finally, having an empty home makes it completely obvious that you no longer live there. While this does not have to be a secret, revealing that the home is vacant may be a disadvantage. Buyers may assume that because you have already moved out, you are more desperate to sell and, consequently, more willing to accept a lower offer. Buyers may offer better prices if they think you have time to be choosy.

Now that you can see the benefits of staging a home for sale, you can get started on making the most of your home selling experience. If you're uncertain of how to stage your home, you don't need to worry. When you choose to work with the Fran Campbell Team, the best real estate team at the Lake of the Ozarks, you will have experience and knowledge on your side to get your home sold quickly and at a price you agree upon!

The Lake of the Ozarks has long been thought of as a top vacation destination in the Midwest, but the Lake Area has also been gaining increased attention as one of the best places to live in the Midwest. Those who still think of the Lake Area purely as a vacation destination, though, are sometimes surprised when they hear about people who are moving to the Lake of the Ozarks full-time. This week, Fran Campbell Team is here to help you distinguish the facts from the fiction about living in our beautiful area.

FICTION: Once Summer Is Over, There's Nothing To Do.FACT: There Are Family-Friendly Events Held All Year-Round!The belief that we "roll up the sidewalks" after Labor Day Weekend is possibly one of the biggest misconceptions anyone could have about the Lake of the Ozarks.

This Saturday, November 11th is Veterans Day and the Fran Campbell Team would like to extend gratitude and honor to Veterans and Active Duty Military for their service to our country! Here is some history and facts about Veterans Day as well as some community events that will be honoring local Veterans this weekend.

History of Veterans Day On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in the First World War, then known as "the Great War." Commemorated as Armistice Day beginning the following year, November 11th became a legal federal holiday in the United States in 1938. In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became Veterans Day, a holiday dedicated to American veterans of all wars. (Source: www.history.com)
